Aluminium use in passenger cars poses systemic challenges for recycling and GHG emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The demand for automotive aluminium is expected to boom in the coming decades given current trends in the passenger car market, such as electrification, light-weighting, customers’ preference for larger cars (SUVs) and ... -
The capital load of global material footprints
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Despite calls for large-scale reductions in material use and efforts to initiate a “circular economy” that promotes recycling and reuse, a limited decoupling between overall resource extraction and economic growth has been ... -
Impact of production parameters on physiochemical characteristics of wood ash for possible utilisation in cement-based materials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Energy production is reorganised to mitigate the pressure on the global environment. This reorganisation leads to an increase in the production of wood ash (WA). Multivariate modelling was used to identify the link between ... -
Life-cycle assessment to unravel co-benefits and trade-offs of large-scale biochar deployment in Norwegian agriculture
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Limiting temperature rise below 2 °C requires large deployment of Negative Emission Technologies (NET) to capture and store atmospheric CO2. Compared to other types of NETs, biochar has emerged as a mature option to store ... -
Limits to graphite supply in a transition to a post-fossil society
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) aims at reducing emissions in the transportation sector, thereby decreasing fuel oil use and crude oil extraction. Yet, synthetic graphite, ... -
Norwegian Waste-to-Energy: Climate change, circular economy and carbon capture and storage
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Recently, the European Commission has adopted a Circular Economy package. In addition, climate change is regarded as a major global challenge, and the de-carbonization of the energy sector requires a massive transformation ... -
Spatially and taxonomically explicit characterisation factors for greenhouse gas emission impacts on biodiversity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In life-cycle impact assessment, currently available characterisation factors (CF) for climate change impacts on biodiversity are highly simplified and do not consider spatial and taxonomic differentiation of species or ... -
Steel all over the world: Estimating in-use stocks of iron for 200 countries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Industrialization and urbanization in the developing world have boosted steel demand during the recent two decades. Reliable estimates on how much steel is required for high economic development are necessary to better ... -
Stocks and flows of sand, gravel, and crushed stone in China (1978–2018): Evidence of the peaking and structural transformation of supply and demand
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Aggregates are the most extracted material resources by weight worldwide. As an important resource for buildings and infrastructure, aggregates, however, are now facing shortages and are associated with negative environmental ... -
Sustainable optimization of global aquatic omega-3 supply chain could substantially narrow the nutrient gap
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Omega-3 EPA and DHA fatty acids are vital for human health, but current human nutritional requirements are greater than supply. This nutrient gap is poised to increase as demand increases and the abundance of aquatic foods ... -
Tracking the devil's metal: Historical global and contemporary US tin cycles
